What did you eat today?
Breakfast: none
Lunch: Leftover chicken and waffle
Afternoon snack: Went to Pete’s for a mocha whatever they are calling their shake thing these days. Used to be a Fredo. New name is dumber.
Dinner: Burritos. Rice, beans, and zucchini.
Dessert: Experimental chocolate chip shortbread cookies. Kind of trying to copy the ones from Acme Bakery.
Breakfast: Scone & Pear
Lunch: Peanut butter and jelly sandwich. Buffalo Bleu chips.
Afternoon snack: Chocolate chips. Iced tea
Dinner: Creamed chicken with Waffles. The original plan was Tessa’s desire to have “breakfast for dinner” and she had that. But honestly, I don’t love breakfast any time of the day, so the creamed chicken was much better. Also with asparagus and cranberry relish on the side. Delicious.
Dessert: None. WTF?
Breakfast: Pear and lemon scone
Lunch: Grilled cheese sandwich. Gruyere and blue cheese with salami. Buffalo Bleu chips
Afternoon snack: Chocolate chips. Iced tea
Dinner: Pulled pork, sweet potato rolls, coleslaw

Breakfast: Made lemon scones. Basically, the recipe here, but without raspberries. Tessa couldn’t decide on lemon or vanilla glaze, so we made both.
Lunch: Grilled salami and cheese sandwich
Afternoon snack: Hand Pie. Some chocolate chips. Iced Tea
Dinner: Pulled pork. Tried a combination of sous vide and smoker based on Serious Eats. The texture and moisture of the meat was awesome, but it didn’t really pick up much smoke flavor. I used the gas grill with wood chips over the lighted burner on one end and the meat at the other end. Kept the grill temp around 280F. Wood just smoked for a few minutes, then went out. Next time (and there will be a next time for this technique) I’ll try the electric smoker. Two hours smoking. Also made the usual BBQ sauce from APL (Serious BBQ). Suzanne made sweet potato rolls and an awesome vinegar slaw.
Dessert: Vanilla cream pie.
Breakfast: Pear
